Hi!

I am using Win10 within VirtualBox. I think you can get this to work 
with Win11 by enabling TPM...

Bhyve is an other option, then you have to setup Windows via VNC and - 
after anabling net and RDP within Windows - RDP into your virtual win11 
machine.

i believe, a test with VirtualBox is an easier start (?)
